One of many downsides to recent political news is that Tony Blair seems to think that he's suddenly become Relevant again, why can I not get away from this man
#You are doing your party NO favours and the rest of us don't want to have to listen to you either go AWAY#Can't even laugh about how irrelevant Jacob Rees-Mogg has become without two-faced Tony popping up on all the media outlets#Is Gordon Brown crawling out of the woodwork? No he is not- at least not on the same scale#And I live in his old constituency so like you would think it would be Brown I'd have to deal with#And actually Brown does still have some relevance having been the actual last Labour PM and also having relevance for Scotland#Not that I want to be lectured by him on national radio either but dear god why is Blair cutting about#Also if there's literally ANYONE who hates Tony Blair more than left-wingers it's the traditional Tory voters who refused to vote this time#I.e. the semi-rational ones and especially ex-military#So he is the last person you want batting for Labour when you need to win over the right- ironically enough#And yes we are quite fairly revisiting New Labour's legacy between 1997 and 2007#And a lot of their policies look amazing next to what came afterwards and Blair was part of that#But Iraq and other issues will forever taint that man and at no point has that part of his reputation been redeemed
